Yehezkiel 18:4

18:4 Indeed! All lives are mine – the life of the father as well as the life of the son is mine. The one ¹⁰  who sins will die.

Yehezkiel 21:12

21:12 Cry out and moan, son of man,

for it is wielded against my people;

against all the princes of Israel.

They are delivered up to the sword, along with my people.

Therefore, strike your thigh. ¹¹ 

Yehezkiel 21:31

21:31 I will pour out my anger on you;

Yehezkiel 22:12

[11:19]  ¹ tc The MT reads “you”; many Hebrew mss along with the LXX and other ancient versions read “within them.”

[11:19]  ² tn Heb “their flesh.”

[11:19]  ³ tn Heb “heart of flesh.”

[13:10]  ⁴ tn Or “peace.”

[13:10]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew word only occurs here in the Bible. According to L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 1:202-3) it is also used in the Mishnah of a wall of rough stones without mortar. This fits the context here comparing the false prophetic messages to a nice coat of whitewash on a structurally unstable wall.

[13:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “from your hand(s).” This refers to their power over the people.

[13:23]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew verb is feminine plural, indicating that it is the false prophetesses who are addressed here.

[14:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “proverbs.”

[16:20]  ⁹ sn The sacrifice of children was prohibited in Lev 18:21; 20:2; Deut 12:31; 18:10.

[18:4]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “life.”

[21:12]  ¹¹ sn This physical action was part of an expression of grief. Cp. Jer. 31:19.

[22:12]  ¹² tn Heb “usury and interest you take.” See 18:13, 17. This kind of economic exploitation violated the law given in Lev 25:36.

[22:12]  ¹³ sn Forgetting the Lord is also addressed in Deut 6:12; 8:11, 14; Jer 3:21; 13:25; Ezek 23:35; Hos 2:15; 8:14; 13:6.

[22:12]  ¹⁴ tn The second person verb forms are feminine singular in Hebrew, indicating that the personified city is addressed here as representing its citizens.

[22:19]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew second person pronoun is masculine plural here and in vv. 19b-21, indicating that the people are being addressed.

[22:30]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “I did not find.”

[25:17]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “with acts of punishment of anger.”

[34:30]  ¹⁹ sn A promise given to Abraham (Gen 15:7) and his descendants (Gen 15:8; Exod 6:7).

[34:30]  ²⁰ sn The blessings described in vv. 25-30 are those promised for obedience in Lev 26:4-13.

[36:8]  ²¹ tn Heb “they draw near to arrive.”

[36:27]  ²² tn Or “in the midst of you.” The word “you” is plural.

[36:27]  ²³ tn Heb “and I will do that which in my statutes you will walk.” The awkward syntax (verb “to do, act” + accusative sign + relative clause + prepositional phrase + second person verb) is unique, though Eccl 3:14 contains a similar construction. In the last line of that verse we read that “God acts so that (relative pronoun) they fear before him.” However, unlike Ezek 36:27, the statement has no accusative sign before the relative pronoun.

[36:27]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and my laws you will guard and you will do them.” Jer 31:31-34 is parallel to this passage.

[36:28]  ²⁵ sn This promise reflects the ancient covenantal ideal (see Exod 6:7).

[38:14]  ²⁶ tn The Hebrew text is framed as a rhetorical question: “will you not take notice?”

[38:19]  ²⁷ sn The phrase “in the fire of my fury” occurs in Ezek 21:31; 22:21, 31.

[38:19]  ²⁸ tn Or “shaking.”

[44:23]  ²⁹ sn This task was a fundamental role of the priest (Lev 10:10).
